Far and few between Pawn shop silver

[shoegazer]

Hello, wanted to share a nice find from a local pawnshop.
I hit them often mainly to check on going rates for my wheelin' and dealin' hobby.
found 6 rolls of pre-'64 washingtons priced at $800.00, did some quick math on silver prices,
offered $700.00- Deal! Would love to have saved them, but had bills to pay, sold them a day later on Craigs for $1400.00
Not bad for a quick stop at a pawn shop.

Pawn shops around here are like crackheads in reverse, they buy it for 10% of the actual melt value and sell it for 200%+ of the actual melt value.

Yup, that's how they are here, too. I've seen used detectors priced above retail.

Congrats on the huge score!

How in the hell did you ever get a pawn shop to sell you silver at HALF of melt. Nobody does that. I've never seen a pawn shop that would sell less than double melt.
